I've been sitting here for a while looking at other interviews he did on other talk shows and I think Arsenio Hall was the only person to take him seriously.
Megan Powell I agree as well, most of the audiences on the other talk show's seem to just laugh and overlook his words. Even the talk show host's themselves seem to belittle him. Not all, but it's almost all of them.
Right? Arsenio is the only guy who didn't try to rib him for his perceived "soft" image. He actually understood what Fred was trying to accomplish and why, and that the image wasn't a carefully constructed character but who he really was. So much respect. And as he mentioned, also a very respectful audience!
Great point. Arsenio was an underrated interviewer. He knew when to do comedy, he knew when to be serious, snd he always connected with the guests on a human level
Because Fred Rogers was one of the few people that could respectfully ask for your attention without saying a word or raising his voice. He didn't command you to listen....you want to listen.
But Arsenio set the tone. He received him for who he was. Mr. Rogers was always ready with the puppets when the sarcasm or defense mechanisms of a host started in a wrong direction, but he didn't need them here.
Arsenio was so gracious: giving an expensive gift to his guest, complimenting his guest and audience as “perfect” and then leading the audience in a standing ovation for Mr. Fred Rogers. That is real appreciation from the heart. They are showing us by example how to act with dignity and honor.
@@grungefreak10 he is probably the closest thing to a saint that we will ever see in our lifetime. I don't know if there was anybody in American history who was more widely respected and loved by everyone on the same level as Mr Rogers
mr rogers was actually an Episcopalian minister; not sure how long he practiced but once he took on the show he considered the space between the show and the kid watching as hollowed ground; he could never see himself as the sole source of the show that helped people.
Jesus has that effect on people. Not saying Fred is Jesus…just saying. Probably as close to a second coming as we’ve seen in the last century. He was almost more like Jesus than Jesus. Instead of smashing the money changers at the temple, he’d have had them crying with guilt with his softly delivered tough love and kindness.
@@LarryOfilms He did have a commanding presence....by being the opposite of commanding. The genuine care and respect he showed anyone he encountered is what commanded your attention.
@@browniecinco It has always been like that, but is undoubtedly more common with my generation Z. Honestly I wish I never developed that attitude because at first it was ironic but then after a while not so much. I'm trying to stop being nihilistic but it's been rough the past year or so
arsenio hall was a really great host. The more of his stuff I watch the more I realize that while he could be funny at times, he could also act like this. He always had respect for his guests
I was a kid when Carson was still a host, and of course Letterman, but Arsenio Hall had the show to watch. Even then when I was a kid, he was different. He was real.
Ana: Another person commented about this... I think it'd be wonderful if one of Mr. Rogers' sons, also a Mr. Rogers :) would wear the Arsenio Hall jacket to the movie premier.
Mr Rogers was a great sport wearing the jacket laughing at the boys in the hood line but at the same time you can tell Arsenio had a real level of respect for this man, he never once came across as fake, you can tell that he really just wanted to teach children about the world, if there was a question they were afraid to ask he was more then willing to listen and answer it.
Mr rogers was like a childhood hero. A man reaching across and holding out his hand to bridge the differences to make people realise there are no differences between us as the human race.
He’s one of the few talk show hosts that actually lets the guests speak. Arsenio seems to respect them and have the self awareness that people aren’t necessarily coming to the show to see him speak, but see his guest speak.
Arsenio is a lot like the Johnny Carson of the black community, he knew what to ask and when to ask it, when to crack a joke, and when to listen. He had the same timing cues and things that Carson did. It sucks they don't show reruns of his show on Tv.
Mr Rogers! Thank you for your unwavering kindness and teaching every child regardless of the color of their skin that kindness and love could essentially heal the world. I truly loved you as if I known you as a child…when I heard of your passing I cried real tears for you. You taught us Compassion, empathy, and to love thy neighbor regardless of our differences no matter what they might be 🥹🤍. You broke racial barriers in a time where black people were ostracized and deemed not worthy of even swimming in a public pool. You bought a black man on the show and washed his feet (biblical) and shared the same pool as him which was seen as blasphemy at that time. That spoke volumes of your heart and character, when it could of ended you within every aspect. Rest in the most beautiful flowers Mr Rogers….you will never be forgotten, and yes I will be your neighbor 🥹🤍
Fred was so sweet, so kind, so good that if you didn’t like him there’s something seriously wrong with you. I can’t think of many other people like that.
One thing I love about this: a lot of late night talk show hosts are always looking for a comedy angle. This is the only late night talk show host I saw with Mr. Rogers that the host wanted to address what he thinks about things. Love it
I've watched so many Mr. Rogers videos in the last few days, and while it's so wonderful to see so many people remembering that incredible man, I think we all need to realize something. We still have him. He carries on in his recorded works and in the lives of every person who's life he touched. It would be wonderful if he was still with us, but we can all come together and live what he taught. Instead of saying "We need Mr. Rogers." let's instead say "We need TO BE LIKE Mr. Rogers."
@andrewmccarty Exactly!! There are libraries everywhere and I'm sure they have his videos! If you have kids, get them a library card and check out and let them watch as much of his video series as they have available. We don't have to settle for what TV provides, you can take charge and give your children the to programming that you know will make them the best little people and later on, the best adults they can be!! Don't just follow the crowd, take a stand and show your kids why it matters to be different and try to be better individuals to all we encounter in our daily lives.
Not me. The man was amazing. I was lucky enough to meet him as a lad. My dad and I played hookey from work and school to see his live show in Chicago, and he got me back stage. I'll never forget what it felt like to be around him. The nearest experience I've had is meeting my current pastor - a devout, truly humble man who's love for everyone can be felt just by being in the room with him. Mr. Rogers was like that - but at the same time, it felt like his heart was ready to explode with all sorts of things he wanted to say, to teach, to tell... I don't think this world will ever see his like again.
She wasn't terrible. Granted, she was a bit abrasive and gritty, as was her nature, but I think she managed to tone down the grit a bit for Mr. Rodgers.
@@julieabraham3566she was a hard nose comic but at the end when he sang to her she melted and I’ve never seen her smile in that matter (genuine smile - not laughing or mocking smile). I think the issue was at the time (Carson/Rivers) didn’t know what to make of Fred or if he was genuine. But watch interviews with Carson and Rivers and how yes at the beginning of the interview they’re rough but at the end Carson was having a genuine interview with Fred asking insightful questions and Joan was covering her head when he sang to her lol
If I ever get to time travel, I am doing that for sure. I don't even have to grab them, they would probably just come with me since they were trustworthy and nice.
I really miss the Arsenio Hall show as it was in the 90's. He was genuinely fun and sincerely cared about his guests and let them do and say things that they wouldn't do on other shows.
Mr. Rogers never stopped being relevant. Be good to yourself and others. You can get angry but don't let it ruin you. Be excited to meet new people and be kind.
I always liked Mr. Rogers and after seeing a beautiful day in the Neighborhood let’s me respect him even more. The world needs more people like him. And Arsenio has always been a class act ahead!
A guy from Pittsburgh and guy from Cleveland on the same stage. As Rocky said in Rocky 4 if I can change and you can change the hole world can change. Won't you be my neighbor.
Amazingly as powerful and relevant then as it is today in 2020 . 30 years later Mr. Rodgers advice is still sage wisdom full of love. Arsenio Hall's statements about what kids are saying are sadly just as likely to be heard today as they were then.
@@Luxey__X I'm sure I will! I trust your judgement. Plus Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors. You have sparked the urge of me wanting to see it even more. Thank you!
Watch the letterman interview with mr. Rogers and then watch this. Much respect to Arsenio Hall for recognizing the work mr. Rogers was trying to do and for treating him with respect
I know right... Not to sound corny, but he's (Mister Rogers) was so right. I was bullied so bad and picked on, and like so many children, i was afraid to tell my parents. Mister Rogers however, really did make me feel special and valued, and it helped. His personal approach on his show will always resonate with me, and i wish other children, particularly of this generation could be recipients of his sincerity... He was everything.
@@manwomanboogie that's such a sad but also heartening and inspiring thing to read. I think the sincerity he seemed to have is lost in alot of the programming and messages today too. They're trying to imitate and emulate it and apply it in "theory" but it's not coming from the same place and sadly doesn't have that profound effect(as far as I can see, just my opinion).
I think Mr. Rogers would be horrified at children's programming today, with the violence, sexual innuendos, cultural polarization, and racial segregation as the under current...just complete opposite of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood's shows' message. A 20-something celebrity actor recently told a talk show host that he grew up watching Family Guy. I am a fan of Family Guy, but it is not a show for children by any means. It made me think of how differently an adult would be who watched Mr. Rogers vs. Family Guy. I have often thought that The Simpsons hasn't been on the air for 25 years, because adults watch it that much. It is another animation show that children are allowed to watch that isn't appropriate for them. It's been on the air so long, because several generation of children have grown up watching The Simpsons.
@@missireason8998 Yup and that was in the 90s. The 90s wasn't so bad compared to today where there is no moral at all, and it doesn't help that the economy and inflation is much worse. Assholes are glorified left and right, and with the internet you can be literally talking to some prick.
He was such a light in this world. I look up Fred when I’m dragged down by all the fear-mongering and need to remind myself that truly safe people do exist!
I use to think this as well until I though. Why lament that there would never be another Mr. Rogers, why not try my best to BE Mr. Rogers..it's tough though, but I keep trying.
It is just so amazing on Arsenio gifted Mister Rogers with that jacket, but also spoke about the current issues that affected everyone then, even today. We have so much going on what with inflation, fighting and bickering between Democrats and Republicans, the riots, a lot of negativity in the press...the list can just go on and on. But Mister Rogers is absolutely right, there is no simple solution. But in times of trouble, like he said, look for the helpers. There's always someone out there willing to help when times are hard. This interview was something else. A lot of respect for the late Mister Rogers, even from Arsenio. Mister Rogers was definitely part of my childhood, and I was privileged to be his neighbor when watching his show. He is truly missed.
Arsenio was one of my favorite younger late night show hosts that helped fill the void after Carson retired. For me Arsenio is right up there with Conan and Craig Ferguson. Also not sure if Amazon prime still has it but they did have Mr. Rogers's neighborhood to watch via streaming.
I just watched the movie on mr. Rogers and Tom Hanks did a marvelous job bringing his character back to life. The moment of silence scene in the restaurant was so profoundly touching, I felt like he was talking to me personally. Made me shed a tear I didn’t know I had at the time.
This is truly a great conversation about things that are relevant today. Mr. Rogers made a difference in many people's lives without politics, religion, gender, or sexuality being discussed. Arsenio became Iconic. Thanks for sharing.
I have heard Zig Ziglar, Leo Buscaglia, Tony Robbins, Chris Gardener all speak live. I have never seen a person hold an audience like Mr Rogers. It is Reverent
Beloved by so many people from so many walks of life. He made a difference by caring about how he sent his message, and how he interacted with his audience and those by whom he was interviewed. The high water mark Fred Rogers set for quality entertainment is too often almost deliberately over looked. Arsenio made the effort to speak to a human and ponder self education. To learn to help others by helping others as though they were your friend, or loved one.
After seeing the movie I was curious about the interview. It was wonderful and so true. I can't stop crying, I keep thinking about all the people in my life who help shape me and crying for a world that no longer have these people. THANK YOU MR. ROGERS!!!!

Arsenio treated most of his guests with the respect they were due, and unlike most interviewers he knew the importance of
genuinely good human beings.
And his audience! Joan Rivers’s audience was so obtrusive!
Great point. Arsenio was an underrated interviewer. He knew when to do comedy, he knew when to be serious, snd he always connected with the guests on a human level
You could hear a pin drop in that studio. Just goes to show what an amazing man Fred Rogers was. When he spoke, people listened.
He was royalty because he was Mister Rogers.
That is the most quiet and respectful his audience has ever been. They Knew better than to be loud and obnoxious to mr Rogers.
Because Fred Rogers was one of the few people that could respectfully ask for your attention without saying a word or raising his voice. He didn't command you to listen....you want to listen.

Arsenio exuded respect in this interview. Fred just has that effect I people
Fred earned respect by being a positive influence on all of us. Even a generation after his passing, the youth look up to him.
I really believe Arsenio when he says he grew up with MRN. He shows complete respect and graciousness with Mr. Rogers on his show.
@@grungefreak10 he is probably the closest thing to a saint that we will ever see in our lifetime. I don't know if there was anybody in American history who was more widely respected and loved by everyone on the same level as Mr Rogers
He definitely gave him an invitation to the cookout….
I love how whenever Fred Rogers shows up to talk, people get so calm and start talking much softer like they are in church or the Library.
mr rogers was actually an Episcopalian minister; not sure how long he practiced but once he took on the show he considered the space between the show and the kid watching as hollowed ground; he could never see himself as the sole source of the show that helped people.
@@nigelthornberry5375
So you know, Mr. Rogers was *Presbyterian.
Jesus has that effect on people.

"I wish more people would watch Mister Rogers".
I wish more people would be like Mister Rogers.
I feel like in today’s society, Mister Rogers is considered weak because he’s gentle and doesn’t have a commanding presence.
It all starts with just watching and really listening to what he has to say, then you can apply that to your every day life.
@@LarryOfilms He did have a commanding presence....by being the opposite of commanding. The genuine care and respect he showed anyone he encountered is what commanded your attention.
@@zlinedavid wow you make a good point!

A little cgi worked great here.
I didnt think it was real. Wow.
Love Fred. Was disappointed by the movie. Wish they focused more on fred than the other character
I love how Arsenio stands up for him at the end and claps, never seen another host do that. Respect!
Arsenio is one of the best tv hosts in history.
Too bad he couldn't continue doing it.
This clip is 30ish years old and still is as relevant today.

Ana I believe Mr. Rogers wore that jacket proudly, even after the show. I believe he valued that jacket.
RIP Selena
I don't believe he wore it as a joke. I believe he was grateful for Arsenio's gift.
plot twist - Mr. Rogers has been picking out Arsenio's wardrobe since he started standup
He looked so happy to have his new cool jacket like, "Cool! It's brightly colored like my sweaters!" 💕
crazy thing is hes colorblind lol
Mr Rogers was a great sport wearing the jacket laughing at the boys in the hood line but at the same time you can tell Arsenio had a real level of respect for this man, he never once came across as fake, you can tell that he really just wanted to teach children about the world, if there was a question they were afraid to ask he was more then willing to listen and answer it.

I love the very end. The audience gave him loud applause and I think he was tearing up.
Mr. Rogers is right about helping others. When you help others in need, YOU become the "miracle" for that person.
I've never seen another man like Fred Rogers. He truly cared about what Children were exposed to.
A perfect guest for the night, and a perfect audience to receive him. This is Mister Rogers.
Mr. Rogers got that angelic swag
If Mr.Rogers was still alive no doubt even social media and the internet would be less toxic.
No it wouldn't. Most people would ignore him.
I totally agree.
Arsenio knows what Rogers meant to kids in the hood, not exclusively them, but especially them.
He'd have a lot to say about it. That's for sure.
Maybe if you actually understood Mr. Rogers, you'd know that _ignoring_ toxicity is the goal, not whining about it.
Just saw the Tom hanks trailer and there was a scene from this show. Never knew he was a guest

Mr. Rogers never stopped being relevant. Be good to yourself and others. You can get angry but don't let it ruin you. Be excited to meet new people and be kind.

I love how Mr. Rogers didn't shy away from hard questions. He gave the best answer he could.

@@missireason8998 Yup and that was in the 90s. The 90s wasn't so bad compared to today where there is no moral at all, and it doesn't help that the economy and inflation is much worse. Assholes are glorified left and right, and with the internet you can be literally talking to some prick.
Mr Rogers 🙏🏾💪🏾..... Arsenic Hall, your voice is missed
One of Mr Rogers' sons has to have that jacket and I REALLY HOPE one of them will wear it to the world premier of this movie!
Man do we need a mister Rogers in this generation so badly
The guy from Special Books by Special Kids is pretty close.
All Fred did was simply this, preach love.
He was such a light in this world. I look up Fred when I’m dragged down by all the fear-mongering and need to remind myself that truly safe people do exist!
There would ONLY be 1. There will never be another Fred Rogers.
I use to think this as well until I though. Why lament that there would never be another Mr. Rogers, why not try my best to BE Mr. Rogers..it's tough though, but I keep trying.
@@robocock475 He can kiss my ass
Well here's the thing @@Woad25. Honestly, there's only one of you. Through your actions, you are Mr. Rogers.
It is just so amazing on Arsenio gifted Mister Rogers with that jacket, but also spoke about the current issues that affected everyone then, even today. We have so much going on what with inflation, fighting and bickering between Democrats and Republicans, the riots, a lot of negativity in the press...the list can just go on and on. But Mister Rogers is absolutely right, there is no simple solution. But in times of trouble, like he said, look for the helpers. There's always someone out there willing to help when times are hard.
This interview was something else. A lot of respect for the late Mister Rogers, even from Arsenio. Mister Rogers was definitely part of my childhood, and I was privileged to be his neighbor when watching his show. He is truly missed.
Had to see this for myself after watching the movie. What a great man, and wore the jacket proudly. Miss u Mister Rogers
Just finished watching A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood and had to come watch this clip
A Good Man May He R.I.P.
This man was a fuckin hero.
Fucking right
0:15 if that is not the most heartwarming and genuine smile of gratitude for a unique gift...
I grew up watching Mr. Rogers....I still get this weird, teary eyed thing going on when I hear that theme song.
I grew up on Mr. Rogers and am so glad that I did.
We need him back…asap.
Arsenio was one of my favorite younger late night show hosts that helped fill the void after Carson retired.
For me Arsenio is right up there with Conan and Craig Ferguson.
Also not sure if Amazon prime still has it but they did have Mr. Rogers's neighborhood to watch via streaming.
God bless you, Fred Rogers, and Arsenio Hall, too.
Arsenio Hall & Mr Rogers- I LOVE IT. Back when I would actually LOOK FORWARD to turning on my TV
Cool to see that this appearance is being featured in the upcoming Mr. Rogers movie with Tom Hanks.
who came here from the movie trailer
Me!!
Me. Didn't even realize this existed until beautiful day in the neighborhood
@@Bepeze same here!
Right after the movie.
WOW , I Don't recall this and I VCR'd Arsenio EVERY NIGHT before i went to work overnights (86-2001) THANK YOU for this
I just watched the movie on mr. Rogers and Tom Hanks did a marvelous job bringing his character back to life. The moment of silence scene in the restaurant was so profoundly touching, I felt like he was talking to me personally. Made me shed a tear I didn’t know I had at the time.
This is truly a great conversation about things that are relevant today. Mr. Rogers made a difference in many people's lives without politics, religion, gender, or sexuality being discussed. Arsenio became Iconic. Thanks for sharing.
RIP Mr. Rogers. You were a true G.
I wish Mr. Rogers were around today in 2020. He reminded us every person was important.
I miss watching Mr. Rogers. I wish my daughter could watch it on TV. They should put the reruns so the children can watch him.
Mr Rogers was such a classy good soul. His parents raised him right
I have heard Zig Ziglar, Leo Buscaglia, Tony Robbins, Chris Gardener all speak live. I have never seen a person hold an audience like Mr Rogers. It is Reverent
God has Blessed them Both.
Beloved by so many people from so many walks of life. He made a difference by caring about how he sent his message, and how he interacted with his audience and those by whom he was interviewed. The high water mark Fred Rogers set for quality entertainment is too often almost deliberately over looked. Arsenio made the effort to speak to a human and ponder self education. To learn to help others by helping others as though they were your friend, or loved one.
True power is to speak softly and everyone listening to you.
Anybody else believe that Mr Rogers was an angel
He has that aura about him. He simply loves people
After seeing the movie I was curious about the interview. It was wonderful and so true. I can't stop crying, I keep thinking about all the people in my life who help shape me and crying for a world that no longer have these people. THANK YOU MR. ROGERS!!!!
Two genuinely kind humans
It’s 2023 and Mr. Roger’s comments have never felt more relevant.
People that disliked this video need to watch more Mr Roger
